A Codex plugin and local MCP runtime for context-bounded image generation and inspection.
Keep image-heavy Codex workflows responsive, resumable, and context-bounded.
Fictional concept interface—not an actual Codex UI or a measured context, token, speed, or latency benchmark.
Image Context Runtime for Codex is an experimental open-source Codex plugin backed by a durable local MCP runtime. It runs image generation and inspection as persisted jobs, keeps provider-returned media bytes behind the public MCP boundary, and returns only bounded text results, hashes, relative references, and Job IDs.
- creating short-drama character sheets, location concepts, or storyboards; - producing image assets for websites and slide decks; - organizing image-heavy news, books, screenshots, or research; - generating many visual variations or running repeated visual QA.
Important: This project reduces one source of context pressure. It does not claim that Codex can never slow down, that images use zero tokens, or that explicitly opening an image adds no visual context.
The plugin does not patch or intercept Codex's built-in image features or other image tools. The bounded boundary applies only when Codex uses this plugin's MCP tools and follows its bundled skill.
Execution shape: a bundled local MCP server plus a durable image-job runtime.
v durable local jobs ---- optional OpenAI API
+---- configured-workspace image artifacts
+---- bounded text handoffs, hashes, refs, and Job IDs ~~~
The plugin is the installable workflow. MCP is the tool boundary. The Runtime owns Job state, controls media transfer, and writes generated artifacts only to configured workspace-relative pat
